Rods to hold up engine cover and front bonnet
Pault - August 30th, 2007 at 10:36 PM

Hi all,

My car didn't come with any rods to hold open the front bonnet or the rear engine cover. Does anyone have 2 spare that I could purchase, or is it something I can make up. The problem is I'm not sure exactly what they look like.

Is someone able to post a picture?

Regards
Paul

engine deck lid relies on a spring mechanism attached to the top of the lid.
front one relies on a latching arm on the lhs that you lock into place when bonnet raised.

Pault,
My CB has the rods front and rear. I believe I have a spare but I have to check my shop in a few days. I will let you know.

Think your thinking of a beetle.

Country buggies has fixed rods both front and rear.

Hey thanks guys for the responses. I think I'd be stuck without this forum.

Erich if you have some spares for sale just let me know and I'll send the money.

Thanks once again.
